Abstract

Abstract Using a modified oxa-Pictet Spengler reaction that we recently described, we synthesized 6-hydroxy-isochromans and their 7-hydroxy derivatives. The successful one step synthesis did not require protecting groups and provided high yields. The obtainment of 1-(4′-hydroxybenzyl)-6, 7-dihydroxyisochroman (1) indicates that this protocol can be used to synthesize oxygenated analogues of benzyl-tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids, such as ...
